Chance Me, I WILL CHANCE BACK!!!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I've posted this before, but I wanted to elaborate a little more on my letter grades and get wide range of opinions.</p>

<p>In case you don't know...chance me for James Madison University? Please?</p>

<p>GPA: It's not calculated yet but it will definetely be a 3.5 or over.
Class Rank: Top 25%
SAT:
CR- 630
Math- 520
Writing- 580</p>

<p>Academics:
-I have taken 5 years of math, 4 years of English, 4 years of Social Studies/ History, 4 years of Spanish, 4 years of Science (3 years with a lab), 4 years Theatre and Arts Electives, 2 years of P.E.,1 year of a community service elective, and 1 year of an academic elective.
-Of the above I have taken all Honors and 6 APs (AP U.S. History, AP English Language, AP Psychology, AP English Literature, AP Government, AP Statistics)
-I have recieved A's and B's in 23/29 (3 C pluses, 2 C's, and a D plus) classes. However my school is on a different, stricter grading scale than all of our surrounding counties and the colleges so if they re-calculate my grades, I have recieved A's and B's in 26/29 (3 C's) classes. All of my bad grades have been in math courses or science courses that include a lot of math. Math isn't my strong point and I'm applying as an English major so hopefully they'll notice that correlation and cut me some slack. Also this first semester will be all A's and B's so I'm hoping that they'll see that I've improved. At the same time, I read on JMU's website that "competitive applicants have mostly A's and B's." TECHNICALLY I have mostly A's and B's but still....</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
-Theatre* (Musical, plays, crew)
-Mentoring*
-Beta Club*
-Student Government Association*
-Key Club* (Officer)
-Spirit Squad
*'s indidcate you have to audtion/ be invited to join</p>

<p>Awards/ Honors:
-Spanish Award
-2 Core Value Awards (Accountablilty and Honesty)
-Honor Roll</p>

<p>Other:
-I had an article published in a national magazine</p>

<p>Additional Info:
-I want to be an English major
-I'm in state</p>

<p>They accept 60% of students, I believe college board said last year they accepted 13,705 out of 22, 864 applicants. I'm so nervous. I can't even imagine what about me would make me get in over the 9,000ish rejected applicants....this is not a fun time haha</p>

<p>Anyone chance me and leave a link to your chance thread. :D</p>

<p>Thank you! I hope you’re right!</p>

<p>Your credentials look very similar to a lot of my friends that were accepted last year, practically the same. 50/50 accepted from EA, 90% for regular admission. The 10% is from who I’ve seen denied (but accepted to VT) and accepted (with a lot less than what you have) haha. Hope this helps!</p>

<p>I believe you’ll get in fairly easily. Since that D+ won’t be visible you should be fine.</p>
